  2003-2020 perpetual reserve. 82 meunièr/18 Pinot noir. 2.5g/l dosage. Disgorged June 2022.
  
  I absolutely adore the L’Or d’Eugene Perpetuelle non-rosé. This bottle is my first experience with the rosé version. Big fan of this grower champagne producer.
  
  As typical for Mousse Fils, this champagne is mostly meunièr. Very apparent with the fruit forward and gummy (like fruit snacks) red fruit profile. Black cherry and strawberry cream. On the palate, this trends toward a more herbal strawberry, mint, even some red licorice. Not really oxidative or reductive. No autolytic/aged type notes I’d expect with a perpetual reserve type champagne. Color wise it’s close to the Ulysse Collin rosé but not as powerful. I’d pair this with seafood as opposed to more savory food. Fun.
  
  This is grower champagne to the core. I like the non-rosé version a bit more due to the perpetual reserve profile, but this is tasty for sure. Not sure it gets better, just different (unlike the non-rosé version).

  A crazy complex little Rosé champers! Definitely does not taste like a 17 year perpetuelle. Much more youthful! A split of Gosset champagne was on the table as well, and seemed to be much more oxidative. Strawberry yogurt, lemon meringue, mango and a little bit of guava. A little bit racy yet also a little bit stone ground. Definitely more of a grower champagne style. The difference in the color versus the Gosset revealed less of a salmon color and more of a pink rose color. Bubbles were pretty small in both. Really nice side by side comparison, but out of the two I think I would give the nod to the Moussé.
